Congratulations to all our GlobalTarget Graduates!

Last Thursday we had the opportunity to celebrate our latest class of graduates from the GlobalTarget export accelerator program. This 20th anniversary edition of the program had a special focus on Latin America which led up to the TradeWinds trade mission in South America.

Congratulations to our participating "Member" companies: DRRUSA, EarthQuaker Devices, EvenMix, Grand Rock, LJ Star, Halliday Technologies, Noramar, and Tilmor!

In addition to honoring our graduates, we also recognized the mentors that helped guide their journey, and unveiled the Frank E. Vaughn Award. This award was proudly presented to three pillars of the Ohio international business community who embody the values of excellence in leadership, commitment to service, and the courage to forge their path.

The next class of GlobalTarget will begin in the fall of 2026. Companies interested in taking their next (or first) step in international business are encouraged to email us at gbc@csuohio.edu for more details.
